Station raided

Date: 20 May 1824 – 31 May 1824
Place: Arkell's station
In the ‘latter part of May’, shepherd James Carter at Arkell’s station (‘about 28 miles from Bathurst, and 14 from O’Connell Plains’) reported that ‘the natives took from him 490 sheep’. It seems they took some and then drove them off and scattered them, as he reported later that ‘the greater part had been retrieved’.
